The bug tracker moves a bug to "archive" state after a month (according
to the blurb on the homepage).  Is it possible to customize this for
Emacs to delay the move (to say, three months) for "important" bugs?

Why? You could always access the archived bugs as well:

(debbugs-gnu '("important") '("emacs") t)

</advertisement>

AFAIK this is not possible. I can't see why it matters.
Please note that the help-debbugs list exists and is more appropriate
for such questions IMO.

   That happens only for closed bugs.

Really?  Earlier today, 15344 was not "closed" AFAICT but anyway, i had
to "unarchive" it to be able to continue its thread (via bug-gnu-emacs).
(A previous mail went to /dev/null.)

Perhaps this is a PEBKAC situation -- i wouldn't be surprised...

   > Is it possible to customize this for Emacs to delay the move (to say,
   > three months) for "important" bugs?

   Why?

If a bug is "important", i think it should be visible longer on the
default "browse" link, reproduced here:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1

(from <http://debbugs.gnu.org/Emacs.html>).  I understand that this is
just a question of presentation; i need to play w/ the form...

Hmm, after playing a bit, i think the timeout value has nothing to do w/
whether or not the bug shows up on the default page, but rather the
‘max-bugs’ parameter, plus the particular mix of current bugs...

OK, never mind.  Sorry for the misplaced angst.

   You could always access the archived bugs as well: [debbugs-gnu]

Cool.  I like debbugs-org, too.

Hmm. On "Thu, 10 Oct 2013 17:19:04 -0400", this bug was confirmed by
Glenn (see message #22). Maybe this triggers also archiving after 4
weeks, dunno.

Sure.

Don't understand. What do you mean with 'max-bugs'? The number of bugs
presented when searching?

Thanks. There are some new patches in the git repo which allow to save
and reuse the result of debbugs-org in a file xxx.org. This was inspired
by a patch from Sebastien.

I haven't increased the debbugs version yet (publishing to the public
ELPA visibility), waiting for comments on usefulness. Maybe you give it
a try ...

Best regards, Michael.

No, of course it does not. The bug was never archived. This is all just
a misunderstanding. If you search for 100 bugs, you will never see more
than 100 bugs. If the one you expected to see is not there, it does not
mean it was archived.

Disagree. The "default browse link" is just the most 100 recent reports.

If you want to see important ones, use eg

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?include=severity%3Aimportant;package=emacs

You'll get an auto-response if you try to mail an archived bug.
Mail does not simply vanish.

Anyway, I checked and your first mail was (only just) classified as
spam, sorry. Mainly because:

  1.3 RCVD_IN_RP_RNBL        RBL: Relay in RNBL,
                             https://senderscore.org/blacklistlookup/
                             [79.45.43.190 listed in bl.score.senderscore.com]
  3.6 RCVD_IN_PBL            RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus PBL
                             [79.45.43.190 listed in zen.spamhaus.org]

If you'd have informed help-debbugs, I could have restored it.

The successful mail you sent did not get "RCVD_IN_RP_RNBL" (but still
only just passed).

(I'm not an expert in this stuff.)

OK that explains it.

   If you'd have informed help-debbugs, I could have restored it.

OK.  Should this be mentioned in admin/notes/bugtracker?  BTW, there is
another i sent (same thread) that got likewise stuck.  Could you please
discard it?  (The bug has since been marked "Done".)

   The successful mail you sent did not get "RCVD_IN_RP_RNBL" (but still
   only just passed).

   (I'm not an expert in this stuff.)

Me neither.  Unfortunately, my (residential ADSL) ISP's relay rejects
mail sent to debbugs (dot gnu...) w/ a "non-existent domain" complaint
and so i configured the local MTA to send directly (no "smarthost").  I
wonder if there is a better way, apart from using another ISP...

Anyway, i'll go browse help-debbugs archives now and direct my confusion
there in the future.

Hmm. Sorry, that's above my paygrade.
If it helps, you can mail bug-gnu-emacs@gnu instead.
So long as your mails are replies to existing bugs (essentially, if the
subject starts with "Re: bug#123"), they will still go to the right
place, just as if you had mailed 123@debbugs.

   Hmm. Sorry, that's above my paygrade.

No worries.  I'll figure something out (and post findings) eventually.

   If it helps, you can mail bug-gnu-emacs@gnu instead.  So long as
   your mails are replies to existing bugs (essentially, if the subject
   starts with "Re: bug#123"), they will still go to the right place,

Right.  It was for the (mistaken need to do the) "unarchive" action
that i had to send to control at debbugs.  I'll stop meddling w/ that
now -- there are more than enough non-archived bugs to look at still!

It may be because debbugs.gnu.org has no MX record in DNS. I seem to
recall having had that problem with some mail server my e-mail was
passing through, at some point.

Debian uses an explicit MX record to for their debbugs instance, FYI.

debbugs.gnu.org also has no SOA record, but the SOA for gnu.org says
the person to e-mail is "hostmaster" at that domain.

Like I said, this is above my level.
I'll pass it on to sysadmin@gnu, thanks.
